Diego business landscape, but also influenced business on a global level.

"Kontopuls and Farrell both bring a great depth of knowledge and experience
to the bizExchange conversation," said Jon Hindman, editor of bizSanDiego's magazine and Web
site. "Our goals are to create an opportunity for those in the business
community to engage with these entrepreneurs and glean some of the valuable
skills that have made them successful."
